who was our old kawasaki expert on this site?, cant remember who it was but they were into their old kwaks.

You're probably thinking of Mike B. He had the stunning KH750 plus other nice machines of that era.

Not sure if he is around anymore. I think he sold off his BMW.

Did you mean a Kawasaki expert who was old, or an expert in old Kawasakis?

I used to work for them if I can help

the OEM 4-4's are rare and expensive, I guess there replicas available maybe. I seem to recall the OEM pipes being £1000 per pipe on the microfiche.

The A4 is not as "desirable" as the actual Z1's (despite in reality there being very little to separate them).

[Herb]

I had an A4. Steve is right, they are not as desirable but now a good z1a can fetch £16k prices are climbing rapidly for the A4 and lesser models like the z650.

I paid 3k for mine about 12 years ago and I sold it 2 years later for exactly what I paid.

Mine was fitted with a Marshal 4 into 1. Good quality replica exhausts cost about £1000. Almost every part is now available as a good quality reproduction, but the costs add up. Depending on condition £3.9k does not sound too far out of the ball park, but beware people selling lightly tarted up dogs for high prices.

Here is my old one.

... and to me still one very pretty motorcycle even at 40 years old!

[Herb]

The trouble with a classic in middling condition is that they cost a bomb.

Mine had the wrong shocks, wrong exhaust the paint was slightly the wrong shade, clocks needed refurb etc etc.

Every time I opened the garage door it cost me £300 and still it was never quite right.

And as pretty as it was, it was pretty rubbish by modern standards. Similar performance to a modern 500 and the braking performance of a supertanker.

I'm old and I had a Z900 wobble machine..added some Yoshimura bits.

it was an add up on the island, i dont know the seller or the bike, just that i know some old Kwaks fetch good money for the right model, but was asking if this was one of them. i know nothing about them either, thats why i asked. and no i would not have bought it anyway. i see things and think...........
